john mccain would acknowledge that. i look forward to be in charge of legislative issues for our administration in congress. when i asked for porfolio, my response was no, but barack obama indicated to me that he wanted me to be in the room for virtually every decision. i will give him my best advice. one of the things he said early on was he wanted to pick someone with an independent judgment, would not be afraid to tell him if he disagreed. that is sort of my reputation, as you know. i look forward to working with barack and playing a very constructive role in his presidency, bringing the kind of change this country needs. >> we will have more from the 2004 debate tonight along with three other vice presidential debates. watched the 1984 debate with george bush and geraldine ferraro and in 1988, dan quayle and lloyd bentsen. all starting at 7:00 p.m. eastern here on c-span. >> and today on facebook, we are asking what is your favorite vice presidential debate moment. many of your responses mentioned the jack kennedy m

mccain. it's a different dynamic than to be the frontrunner where four or five people are aiming at you throughout a debate. >> here we are on the eve practically of the first debate and it's supposed to be an economic, domestic policy. >> right. >> and now foreign policy has reared its head. we have first of all mitt romney and "the wall street journal" an op-ed, saying that these developments are not as president obama says, mere bumps in the road. they are major issues that put our security at risk, yet amid this upheaval our country seems to be at the mercy of events rather than shaping them, not moving them in a direction that protects our people or allies. and paul ryan just now on the laura engram radio show, saying this about afghanistan. >> that echos also what john mccain said on "morning joe" today. are they trying to change the skubts to get off -- subject to get off 47% and other missteps and perceived problems in their camp or see a real vulnerability here after benghazi in the
